The construction of the academy is a top priority for the Yang family, and it is also a big thing that they have never been exposed to, so when Yang Tianyou got back the title deed, the Yang family, who was originally very happy, suddenly discovered that such a large academy is not as simple as building a few houses at home, foundation, materials, labor, food, supervision, etc., these things have to be arranged.

So, that night, everyone in the Yang family sat in the hall, and Yang Dazhuan was the first to speak: "For the matter of building the academy, how to arrange it, let's discuss it carefully." ”

Yang Tiezhu, as the boss, is honest and steady, "Dad, should we buy all the materials for building the academy first, and then start construction?" ”

"Big brother, buy everything, where do you put it? If it is placed on the construction site, it must be specially asked to watch, if the construction site is not put on, when the construction starts, it will need to be carried again. ”

Yang Tongzhu shook his head, "That's too troublesome." ”

"Yes." Yang Tiezhu nodded.

"It's not just the things on the construction site, but also the family, I think, no matter how fast the progress is, it will take a month to complete, and the family has to keep people." Yang Yinzhu said.

"I, I'll stay at home."

When Wang heard this, he immediately spoke: "Don't worry, if I stay at home, I will definitely take care of my father and the children at home." ”

It is no surprise that everyone is particularly active in the Wang family in terms of laziness, and the Li family and the Zhou family, who are slow down, have to secretly glance at their mouths, they have not won for so many years.

Sun didn't have much of an idea.

However, Yang Tongzhu was a little embarrassed, "Why don't you come in turn, once in ten days?" ”

"No, I'll stay at home and cook for the kids." Fan thought for a while and said with a smile: "I'm not old yet, I can do things." ”

However, her words, not to mention that Yang Tiezhu's brothers did not agree, even Yang Chunlin and they would not agree, "Grandma, do you and grandpa have more important things to do?" ”

Yang Chunbang opened his mouth and said: "I think it's like what my father said, my mother, third aunt, and fourth aunt come in turn. ”

"What do we do?"

Yang Dazhuan asked with a smile.

"Grandpa, if you listen to what Uncle and my father said just now, you will know that they have no bottom in their hearts, even if they discuss it tonight, if there is something unexpected on the construction site, or my father and they can't make up their minds, they will not ask you at that time."

Yang Chunhua picked up her brother's words.

The Yang brothers nodded in unison.

Yang Dazhuan understood in his heart that his son and grandson were thinking about him, and nodded, "Cheng, when the time comes, I will go to the construction site if I have nothing to do, and when I feel bored, I will go to the big girl and Baozhu's house." ”

He planned directly for himself.

"As for grandma, the work at home is not light, and when my mother is too busy, she may need your help." Yang Chunbang opened his mouth and said.

"Yes," Fan nodded.

Yang Tianyou looked at Yang Chunbang, and finally understood why the children in the family would be centered on this child, "Xiaobang, since you have arranged your grandparents, then, just arrange us directly." ”

When the Yang Tiezhu brothers heard this, they nodded, they were okay to work, but the others didn't seem to be as good as the younger generations in the family.

Yang Chunbang didn't agree immediately, but looked at his brothers and sisters, and when he saw that they were all nodding, he said with a smile: "Uncle is a county order, and the affairs of the yamen cannot be delayed." ”

"As for the materials that the uncle just said, you only need to agree with the seller, give a deposit, and let them send it when the construction is red, as for building a house, which one in the county has good craftsmanship in building a house, the eldest uncle must be the most understanding, and you can directly contract it to them when the time comes."

"So what do we do?"

Hearing Yang Chunbang's words, Yang Tiezhu and the others also felt that it would be convenient, but they were all out, and they had nothing to do.

"Of course it's the overseer, the uncle can be responsible for looking at the materials, we must have bought it, what if the other party is shoddy? You'll have to see it with your own eyes. ”

Yang Tiezhu nodded, they had encountered such a thing when they bought seeds before.

"Even if you contract things out, you still need to watch it, in case you cut corners, or the house is not built firmly, there are people to live in it, this third uncle, you have to watch it yourself."

Although Yang Yinzhu was a little surprised, Xiaobang directly skipped the second brother, but he still nodded, "Don't worry, I'll look carefully." ”

"So what am I doing?"

Yang Tongzhu is a quick-tempered person, and he is afraid that his son will forget about him.

"When the academy was built, there must have been a lot of workers, and if the lunch meal was eaten in the county, the cost would be high, so we must be responsible for the food at that time."

Yang Chunbang opened his mouth and said.

The others nodded.

"Grandpa, I think my grandfather's family will be responsible for the meat at that time, and I will leave the food shopping to my father every day." Yang Chunbang said with a smile.

It's just that as soon as his words fell, Zhou and Li's faces were a little bad.

"Yes."

However, Yang Dazhuan agrees very much, since the in-laws' family buys meat, if they go to other places to buy it, what is it like, "Second brother, remember, according to the price of the county, don't let the in-laws suffer, you know?" ”

"Don't worry, Dad."

For his father-in-law's family, Yang Tongzhu is very respectful.

It's just that when Li and Zhou heard the conversation between father and son, their faces became even worse.

"Fourth uncle, I estimate that in addition to inviting those with good craftsmanship in the county, I also need some other workers, who can be found in the village when the time comes." Yang Chunbang opened his mouth and said, "I'll leave this matter to you." ”

"Yes," Yang Jinzhu nodded.

"As for the rest, I'll leave it to our brothers." After Yang Chunbang finished speaking, he looked at Yang Chunhua.

"Third aunt, fourth aunt, fifth aunt, if your mother's family also wants to work on the construction site, it's okay." Yang Chunhua added that her words made the faces of the two of them slightly better, but they quickly darkened again.

What do these two sisters and brothers mean, the Wang family is to take care of their business, and when it is their family's turn, they rely on coolies to earn some wages?

"Also, when you need to pay money, it's like your father collects materials, the second uncle buys vegetables, and the third and fourth uncles give wages," Yang Chunhua thought for a while and said: "The daily expenses, come back at night, report to the uncle, let him mark it, and everyone will have a count in their hearts at that time." ”

The matter was so settled, and when the work started, Yang Dazhuan deliberately spent two taels of silver to ask the fortune teller in the county to calculate a very auspicious day.

Then the official start of construction.

In the following days, the Yang family was very busy, but everyone had a smile on their faces, even the Li and Zhou families, who were slightly dissatisfied before, actively ran to the construction site.

When the deadline for the ten-day round was up, neither of them was willing to change, they really didn't want to leave the construction site, and everyone looked at them with envy and flattery.

"Third sister-in-law, your family is really amazing."

"Yes, I heard that the third sister-in-law, your son will be a gentleman in the academy, so he can be promising."

"You are really lucky to have such a good son."

Li listened to the words in his ear, and Zhou also listened a lot, except for when he was cooking that lunch, he would be more tired than working when he was busy with farming, and at other times, both of them were happy.

The four brothers Yang Tiezhu were also very happy, they were very serious about what they were responsible for, and when someone asked them about the future tuition fees of the academy, they smiled and said the bundles that had been booked before.

That's really not expensive, ordinary people can squeeze it out by tightening their belts.

As a result, the reputation of the academy began to spread slowly, of course, only in those poor families who had the heart to send their children to study but could not afford it.

Yang Chunhua's brothers and sisters didn't think about it, the academy is still empty, and the furniture such as tables, chairs, benches, etc., has already been made by people, and Mr. also has it.

But a college is not only about these hardware, but also needs software, such as the rules of the college, all kinds of systems about the masters, students, and even the logistics inside.

When the Yang Academy was finally built and the door plaque was hung on the day, looking at the academy that was bigger than the county school, although it was not as rich as the county school, for the Yang family, there was a satisfied smile on their faces, and the tears were full of tears.

That night, the Yang Tiezhu brothers, plus Han Dapeng and Kong Guanghui, all drank too much.

The next day, Yang Dazhuan did not wake up his sons, and went to the ancestral shrine of the Yang family alone with incense wax and fire paper, knelt in front of his father, and talked about the situation at home.

After a while, the three brothers of Yang Erzhuan also followed one after another, carrying the same thing in their hands, although the younger generations of their family are not as good as the eldest brother's family, but this belongs to the glory of their Yang family, and they are happy in their hearts.

However, as the four brothers spoke, they began to cry again, and in their opinion, if their father and mother could live until now, and see that their relatives no longer worry about food and clothing, and have built a academy and begun to benefit the village, they would definitely be very happy.

"Recruit students after the Lantern Festival next year."

Yang Chunlin opened his mouth and said.

Yang Chunbang also nodded, none of them had ever been a gentleman, so they had to prepare well.

The Yang family has no problem with this.

However, there is a dispute between the third aunt and the fourth aunt about who will be the dean.

"Mother, don't quarrel, I think it's good for Brother Chunlin to be in charge." Yang Chunxi pulled his mother's sleeve and said.

Zhou glared at his son, a little deflated.

Yang Dazhuan did not decide directly, but asked the younger generations in the family, "What do you say?" ”

"Let's be on the spring list, he is the most knowledgeable, and he is also the most promising." Yang Chunlin was the first to speak.

Yang Yinzhu nodded, although Li's face was a little ugly, but she knew that even if she objected, it would be useless.

The other elders of the Yang family had no opinions, only Yang Tongzhu felt bad, "Chunlin is the eldest grandson, there should be Chunlin to be the one." ”

Li's eyes lit up and he looked at Wang.

Wang shrugged his shoulders, yawned, and said with a tired face, "I don't have any opinion. ”

"Second aunt, are you okay?"

Yang Chunhua looked at Wang with some concern.

When she asked, the Yang family all looked at her.

"It's okay, I'm just sleepy, Dad, Mother, can I go back to my room and lie down?" It's okay not to say it, but when he said it, Wang felt that he couldn't open his eyelids, "I'm really sleepy." ”

"You've been sleeping for almost an hour in the afternoon, and you're sleepy again?" Yang Chuntao also became worried, "Dad, why don't you ask the doctor to show your mother, she seems to have been unable to wake up for the past few days." ”

Fan's eyebrows jumped, and Zhou and Li also looked at Wang, not what they thought, right?

"Second, help your daughter-in-law back to the room, third, go and ask for a doctor." Fan said with a smile, is it possible that this second daughter-in-law wants to add a villain to their Yang family.

"Yes."

Yang Tongzhu and Yang Yinzhu listened to Fan's words very much, and the discussion about the dean was also suspended.

After the doctor saw it, it was good news that Wang was pregnant again.

Li's heart was slightly sour, but he didn't think much about it, but Zhou was very sad, she worked so hard, she had two sons under her knees, God was really unfair, why could the lazy Wang family give birth to so much.

Sun lowered her head and wiped her stomach, she was very satisfied with her current life, and her two sons were also very obedient, but it would be better if she had a daughter, thinking that last month's menstrual affairs had not come, she raised her head and said in a low voice to the doctor who had not left with a smile: "Doctor, you can show me too." ”

Yang Tianyou looked at his daughter-in-law in surprise, a trace of joy flashed in his eyes, and he was worried that the result was not what he thought, so he hurriedly suppressed the smile on his face.

Yang Tongzhu was already smiling so much that he couldn't see his big eyes at this time, and now that he is holding his grandson, he can add another son or daughter.

As a result of taking Sun's pulse, the other party's pregnancy month turned out to be more than Wang's, and it has been more than two months.

Everyone in the Yang family was very happy, but Li's heart was even more sad, and Zhou's was more and more sad, and when they were sleeping, the two of them tossed Yang Yinzhu and Yang Jinzhu for a while.

"The affairs of children depend on the will of God." Afterwards, Yang Yinzhu said with some amusement.

Li also understands this truth, "However, I still want to get pregnant." ”

The Zhou family and the Li family have similar thoughts, in their hearts, being able to give birth is a blessing, and they don't think that their blessings are worse than the Wang family and the Sun family.

When Yang Chunmei heard the news, she was slightly surprised, returned to her parents' house, looked at her lazy mother, and touched her belly with a smile, "Mother, how do you feel?" ”

Wang shook his head, "It's the same as when I was pregnant with you, I don't feel anything." ”

Her words made the other women in the yard who had given birth to children, except for Yang Chunmei, very envious, this one was already the sixth in Wang's arms, and she had never been tossed, and then look at this good appetite, is it because she is lazy, God takes special care of her? What kind of truth does this have?

Originally, because of the matter of the academy, the family was happy, and with this matter, it was a joy on top of joy, and the people in the village saw the Yang family, all of them were full of red light, and they knew that they were in a very good mood at a glance.

With such a thing, even if Yang Chunhua was disfigured, there were no rumors such as a disaster star like Kong Guanghui before.

On this morning, Yang Chunhua, who was running in the village, was stopped by Zhao Cuiniang.

Yang Chunhua looked at Zhao Cuiniang, saw her eyes flickering, looked at this and didn't dare to look at her face, she couldn't help but think that after coming back, she and her brother would come to the door with gifts the next day, and she saw herself and screamed in horror.

"Mother, do you have something?"

Zhao Cuiniang took a deep breath before she raised her head and looked at Yang Chunhua's face, but she still took a step back, "Xiaohua'er, I didn't say you, your face has become like this, you will go out less in the future, even if you go out, you have to cover your face, even if the people in the village are not afraid, aren't you worried about bringing bad luck to people?" ”

If she hadn't had memories when she was born, when she heard this, she would have to wonder if she was born to the other party, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”

Pulling his hair away from him, he repeated the question he had just asked, "If it's okay, I'm going home for breakfast." ”

"I heard that your second and fifth aunts are pregnant?"

"Yes." Yang Chunhua nodded.

"Your father?"

Zhao Cuiniang looked at her expectantly.

Yang Chunhua shook her head, knowing what she was thinking, "My father didn't mention you." ”

The other party didn't listen to her previous words at all, and in the two years since she left, not to mention that she didn't do anything for her family, Chunlan and Chunyuan are no exception, even if they don't come to the door during the New Year's holidays, grandpa, grandma's birthday without a word of greeting, she is like this, after a long time, her father is not only unlikely to compromise and invite her back to the Yang family as she thought, but is very likely to forget her.

When Zhao Cuiniang heard this, she felt a little uncomfortable and embarrassed, but she quickly looked at her daughter in front of her with resentment, "Who sued you and I want to ask about this?" ”

"What's that?"

Yang Chunhua really didn't want to quarrel with her, so she asked with a smile and a gentle attitude.

"Don't laugh, it's ugly."

Zhao Cuiniang said disgustedly, and then, Yang Chunhua put away her smile, although she didn't care about her appearance, but she was stopped by her mother in the morning, and when she said such a thing, her good mood was still affected.

So, she stopped talking and waited for the other person to speak first.

"For the sake of you being my daughter, I came to you on purpose," Zhao Cuiniang said: "A few days ago, a matchmaker came to propose marriage, saying that Li Gongzi in the county town felt that his character was good and he was willing to accept you. ”

"Concubine?"

Yang Chunhua asked amusedly.

"Otherwise, what do you think?" Zhao Cuiniang opened her mouth and said: "I have also seen Li Gongzi, a very handsome young man, and his family is also rich, with your current ghost appearance, people are willing to want you, you should thank God well, you don't want to be a wife, right?" ”

Yang Chunhua looked at Zhao Cuiniang, "What conditions?" ”

"Huh?"

Zhao Cuiniang couldn't react.

"Didn't you also say that I look like a ghost, that handsome Li Gongzi will take a fancy to me? There must be other conditions, right? Yang Chunhua asked with a smile.

"Little things."

What Zhao Cuiniang hates the most is her daughter's smart appearance that can't hide anything from her, "You can say a few words, just let him have a relationship with the Chen family." ”

"Hehe, a few words," Yang Chunhua knew at a glance that her mother was being used again, "Mother, you can live a good life, my family, don't worry about it, lest you be deceived again." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Zhao Cuiniang remembered the previous incident, which she had always avoided and was unwilling to remember.

"Mother, think about it, since he asked the matchmaker to come to you to propose marriage, it means that they have gone to the Yang family before, and my father refused."

Yang Chunhua was right, as soon as the Yang family heard that it was a concubine, they directly blasted the matchmaker out, she was in the county seat at that time, so she couldn't help but think about it, so the family didn't tell her about it.

"Isn't this family business bad?" Zhao Cuiniang looked at Yang Chunhua incomprehensibly, in her opinion, this was already a big surprise.

"Of course not." Yang Chunhua said with a smile, "Also, mother, my family affairs, how can I be ranked behind Brother Chunlin, Sister Chuntao and my brother." ”

"You are really," Zhao Cuiniang looked at Yang Chunhua, "You, you are like this, just wait to be an old girl for the rest of your life, count me as nosy." ”

"Mother, if you have that kung fu, when you're fine, go back to Yang's house to see grandpa, grandma, and then look at dad and Chunlan, this is your business." Yang Chunhua reminded again.

Zhao Cuiniang was stunned for a moment and laughed, "It's your father, right, your father asked you to persuade me to go back?" ”

Hearing this, Yang Chunhua felt extremely funny, and before she could deny it, she continued: "Hmph, he drove me out of Yang's house and wanted me to go back, so he had to invite me in person." ”

After saying the last word, the smile on Zhao Cuiniang's face couldn't be stopped, and her eyebrows seemed to be flying.

"Mother, can you recognize the reality, this is really just what I meant, since I came back, my father has not mentioned you." After speaking, looking at her mother with an unbelieving face, she didn't know what to say.

"You're trying to lie to me? Do you think I'm stupid? ”

Zhao Cuiniang looked like you don't want to lie to me, and said triumphantly.

"Whatever you think, mother, I'm going back, you must not make your own decisions about my relatives, otherwise, if something happens, my father will not forgive you."

Before leaving, Yang Chunhua still said a little uneasily, but she never said anything more when she reminded her to go home and see, she was worried that after she said it, her mother would not go back to watch, but to go back to make trouble.

"Came back a little late today?"

Yang Chunshu opened his mouth and asked, "Did something happen?" ”

"It's okay," Yang Chunhua shook her head.

At breakfast, the matter of the dean of the academy was brought up again, and the elders of the Yang family felt that Chunlin and Chunbang were fine, and the Li family naturally wanted this name to fall on their son.

It's just that Yang Chunlin felt that he didn't have Yang Chunbang's ability, so he pushed it to Yang Chunbang.

And Yang Chunbang thinks that Yang Chunlin is the eldest grandson of the family, so he should naturally be in charge, even if there is any problem, he will help.

As a result, after breakfast, there was no result, and in the end, everyone looked at Yang Chunhua, "Let Brother Chunlin be, even if there is something uncomfortable at first, with our brothers and sisters, Brother Chunlin, you don't have to worry." ”

When Li Shi heard this, he smiled and spoke.
